got it working -- under Windows, i re-installed the driver, which brought the multiface back online. after that, the firmware loads successfully under linux, and all is well. i *cannot*, however, hotplug the ExpressCard under linux -- the multiface status light behaves as it should (blinks with the ExpressCard out, and goes dark when the ExpressCard is re-inserted), but hdspmixer comes up with all meters at full-scale, and the unit does not function.

anyways, it's good enough to work with -- just unfortunate that it seems i need to keep a windows partition available in case i need to pull the card out of a "funk" again!

cheers!
